my niece is a soldier. her mother is a very successful real estate agent and her father owns his own industrial cran business. she left college to join the army after 9/11.
my brother in law is a naval aviator, obviously went to college. his father retired from one of the top athletic equipment supply companies in the world. Executive V.P.
my son in law is a submariner. lefft college to join the Navy post 9/11.
my son was a SEAL. he never wanted to be anything but a SEAL or a RANGER. his father could endow a few scholarship programs
and it is my, my sisters and brothers and sons and daughters, blood, sweat and tears and willingness to step up to the duty that gives you the rights and peace to be able to say that and sleep peacefully.
IT HAS SERVED US WELL, THIS MYTH OF CHRIST!
